Introduction

The purpose of the integration is to create collaboration sites on SharePoint 2007 as new accounts or opportunities are created in Microsoft CRM.

Whenever a new account or opportunity in Microsoft CRM is created, a workflow will be triggered. The workflow will execute a .NET assembly called "{SomeName}.dll". This assembly is responsible to create the corresponding collaboration site on SharePoint server.

Using the code

Workflow Architecture  See figure Workflow rule.jpg



Code to Apply Logo to Sharepoint Site

private static void ApplyLogoToSharepointSite( string siteName , string entityName)
 { 
 SPGlobalAdmin globalAdmin = new SPGlobalAdmin();
  string siteURL = ConfigurationReader.GetSharepointSiteUrl(); 
 SPVirtualServer dashboaordServer =       globalAdmin.OpenVirtualServer(new Uri(siteURL));
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb _web =   dashboaordServer.Sites["sites/"+siteName].RootWeb;
  Logger.Instance.LogComment( _web.Url );
if (_web != null)
 {
_web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
_web.SiteLogoUrl =  ConfigurationReader.GetSharepointSiteLogoUrl(entityName);
 _web.Update();

 }
